MOST pathetic story is told by New York
paper Of the workings of what is known the
Puritanic blue law in that city, which forbids
the sale OF liquor on Sunday. A little French
child, which had been accustomed to drinking
beer. lay at the point of death. It was thirsty,
and called for a drink; nothing but water was in
the house, and this offered it, but
fused, and the child walled piteously for beer
The father took pitcher and visited the saloons
in the neighborhood. but they were closed. and
he could obtain refreshments suitable for ex
pring infants. When he returned home the lit
tie girl was still crying and the mother went out
with the pitcher to see what she could accom-
plsh. Now, there two ways in which the
story could be finished, either of which would be
in accordance with the eternal fitness OF things
from beer beer stand point, respectively.
The mother finding no beer, might have gone
back to her afflicted child 20 find it revived by
draughts of water which it had been at last
driven by thirst to swallow. This incident
would have served to point admirable tenn
perance moral. On the other hand, returning
with no beer the child might have breathed its
last as a result of being deprived, at 8 critical
moment. of its favorite beverage. This cir
cumstance could have been used weighty
argument against the continued enforcement of
reader is led to expect from the opening sentence
of the narrative. This however, was, I'M
fortunately, not the outcome. The mother en-
countered friend who had convenient keg in
the cellar the key as tapped, the pitcher filled,
and the foaming cup placed to the dying child's
lips. Did she at once revive at the taste Of this
elixir Alas no; with regard whatever for
what she might effect toward repeal of the
law, the inconsderate infant drank her beer and
died. There is possible moral connected with
this tale, but somehow it seems to have
especial bearing on the Sunday laws, and the
reader is left to wonder why the case should have
been cited argument against Puritanism.

their land was being devastated by war that in

WASIT MURDERl

Portland Man Found Terribly I'm

the Dying Man In His Delirfum Ar
rested.
MIDDLETowN, March 21.-Malliek Con-
nors of Portland, who was found last We'd
nesday night wedged between the wheels
and body of a carriage just this side of
Cromwell bridge, this city, died from the in
juries he had sustained at 2:3O a. m. to-day.
Soon after Connors was found he was tax
en- to his home in Portland and DIR. 4. j.
Campbell was called in to attend him. The
ether night statement appeared in local
paper representing the physician as saying
that Connors was undoubtedly assaulted, as
his throat was bruised and discolored from
the evident effects of choking. This fore
noon DIR. Campbell denied the story and said
that it was absolutely false. At noon the
father of the dead man said it was true that
his sons throat was black and blue and very
much bruised and swollen. Besides this in
jury Connors' head was cut in several places
and his lett hand was broken at the wrist.
He was very delirious, and in his rawlings he
frequently mentioned the name of Jerry
Griffin. Upon that meagre information his
relatives swore out warrant Thursday be-
fore Prosecuting Attorney Culver of this CITY
charging Griffin with assault with intent to
kill and Griffin was thereupon arrested. In
the City court Saturday he was held to an
swer in the sum of 81 900. He secured
bonds readily and he is now at liberty. 1t is
possible that he may be rearrested on more
serious charge. Coroner Hall has started an
investigation and this afternoon, in company
with the chief of police, he visited the place
where COpnOrS WAS found.
